Trusted bath re-enamelling in Chillerton

Different materials, different repairs

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 is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Bath re-enamelling in Chillerton without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chillerton and across Isle of Wight.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chillerton

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Chillerton?

We do. We send a technician to Chillerton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we are called out for in Chillerton

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
