How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Bath re-enamelling in Chattisham, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Questions from Chattisham
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
