How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chesham Bois

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chesham Bois and across Buckinghamshire.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

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.

What affects the price in Chesham Bois

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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.

Honest limits

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Chesham Bois

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Chesham Bois

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
