Common questions in Chawleigh
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Bath re-enamelling in Chawleigh without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chawleigh
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
