Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chilton?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Chilton. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Chilton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Chilton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
