How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Questions from Chapel Stile
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Repair or replace in Chapel Stile?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we’re called out for in Chapel Stile
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
