About our bath re-enamelling in Chatton
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chatton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days

- Worn patches where water runs and sits

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chatton
For anyone letting property in or around Chatton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Chatton
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Chatton. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
