- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Chiltington. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chiltington
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chiltington as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What else we do in Chiltington
When to call us in Chiltington
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Chiltington contact us are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Chiltington
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Chiltington.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
