Bath re-enamelling in Chilton Street without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Chilton Street and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilton Street
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chilton Street. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Chilton Street
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Clients generally contact us about:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chilton Street
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you come to Chilton Street?
We do. We send a technician to Chilton Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
