How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cheriton Fitzpaine

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

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

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing or bath cost comparison.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Cheriton Fitzpaine. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Cheriton Fitzpaine

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 is the part we put right.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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