Bath re-enamelling for Chawton homes

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Chawton without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chawton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Chawton: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Chawton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chawton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Are there extra charges for Chawton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When to call us in Chawton

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
