Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chelworth Lower Green
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Chelworth Lower Green, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Chelworth Lower Green
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chelworth Lower Green?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
