About our bath re-enamelling in Chilton Lane
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Chilton Lane and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chilton Lane. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Common problems we fix in Chilton Lane
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common questions in Chilton Lane
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chilton Lane?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
