Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chelwood Common

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

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.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chelwood Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our full price list and bath cost comparison.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Chelwood Common

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
