Bath re-enamelling in Chelveston, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
FAQs for Chelveston
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Chelveston. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
