- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.

Bath re-enamelling in Cheselbourne, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Cheselbourne
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cheselbourne
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Cheselbourne?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT2 postcode.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cheselbourne
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Cheselbourne
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the entire UK

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What else we do in Cheselbourne
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
