Bath re-enamelling for Chilton, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then book a visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Chilton, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Chilton?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Chilton
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Chilton?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EX17 postcode.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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 is what we repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
