Bath re-enamelling in Chilbolton without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Chilbolton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Chilbolton

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Chilbolton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Chilbolton?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Chilbolton

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Chilbolton. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

FAQs for Chilbolton

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Chilbolton and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
