About our bath re-enamelling in Chaulden
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chaulden
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
FAQs for Chaulden
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Why repair rather than replace?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chaulden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
