Bath re-enamelling for Chepstow homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chepstow

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Chepstow: your questions answered

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Monmouthshire.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chepstow?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Chepstow

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
