Bath re-enamelling in Chillesford, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
