How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chelston
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

FAQs for Chelston
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we’re called out for in Chelston
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chelston
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chelston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
