Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chesterwood
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chesterwood
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Chesterwood. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
