Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chazey Heath
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Chazey Heath questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Chazey Heath
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Chazey Heath. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chazey Heath?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
