DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Chilfrome
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Look out for these signs:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
Common questions in Chilfrome
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT2 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Chilfrome
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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 over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
