About our bath re-enamelling in Chickward
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Advice
What affects the price in Chickward
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chickward
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
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. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
