Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chilcote
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Chilcote and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilcote
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Chilcote and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Chilcote
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Common problems we fix in Chilcote
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
