Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chesterton
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chesterton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Chesterton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
