Landlord and trade work in Chattenden
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. 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.
Bath re-enamelling in Chattenden without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Chattenden
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Chattenden
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Chattenden?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What affects the price in Chattenden
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
