Bath re-enamelling in Cheriton Bishop, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Cheriton Bishop: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cheriton Bishop. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cheriton Bishop. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
