About our bath re-enamelling in Chettisham
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
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.
Repair or replace in Chettisham?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chettisham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When to call us in Chettisham
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
