Bath re-enamelling in Chilton without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace in Chilton?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

Chilton questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Chilton. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Chilton, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
