What we are called out for in Cheriton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
Bath re-enamelling in Cheriton without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
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.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

Advice
Cheriton: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover Cheriton?
We do. Technicians travel to Cheriton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Cheriton
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Cheriton. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t 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 quote.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cheriton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
