Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chestnut Hill
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in Chestnut Hill
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Chestnut Hill: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos.
