Trusted bath re-enamelling in Chessington

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath re-enamelling in Chessington, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Landlord and trade work in Chessington

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

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 price, not a guess.

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Chessington questions

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you come to Chessington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Chessington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What affects the price in Chessington

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: 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

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Chessington and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Chessington

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
