How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chester
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chester
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chester?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CH1 postcode.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are there extra charges for Chester?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chester. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
