Trusted bath re-enamelling in Chieveley

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place

Bath re-enamelling in Chieveley, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Chieveley: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Common problems we fix in Chieveley

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlord and trade work in Chieveley

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chieveley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
