Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chard
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace in Chard?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Chard customers choose us
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Chard: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work in Chard?
We do. We send a technician to Chard for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What else we do in Chard
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chard
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
