Bath re-enamelling in Chawley without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chawley as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Chawley
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chawley. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow the best part of a day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Chawley: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Are there extra charges for Chawley?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chawley?
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
