Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chicksands
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Landlord and trade work in Chicksands
For anyone letting property in or around Chicksands, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Questions from Chicksands
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
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?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Chicksands?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chicksands. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chicksands. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
