How we handle bath re-enamelling in Checkley
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Questions from Checkley
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Checkley.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Checkley?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Checkley

Repair or replace in Checkley?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Checkley?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
