Bath re-enamelling in Chilswell without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Chilswell questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Chilswell?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chilswell and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Chilswell
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Chilswell
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Comparing quotes

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairs by material
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, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
