Bath re-enamelling in Chelsworth without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What we’re called out for in Chelsworth
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash

Common questions in Chelsworth
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
