Landlord and trade work in Chartridge
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Bath re-enamelling in Chartridge, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Chartridge questions
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Common problems we fix in Chartridge
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Common reasons people in Chartridge contact us are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit

- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Chartridge, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
