About our bath re-enamelling in Charvil
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What else we do in Charvil
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Charvil, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Charvil questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Common problems we fix in Charvil
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
