About our bath re-enamelling in Chatter Alley
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chatter Alley as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Chatter Alley, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
FAQs for Chatter Alley
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chatter Alley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
