Bath re-enamelling in Chillington without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chillington

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
