Trusted bath re-enamelling in Charlwood

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Charlwood

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Charlwood

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Charlwood: your questions answered

Do you work in Charlwood?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Charlwood. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Charlwood

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Charlwood clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

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. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
