Bath re-enamelling in Chickerell without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Chickerell
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Chickerell
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chickerell
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What affects the price in Chickerell
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Chickerell and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in Chickerell
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chickerell use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
