Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chilwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Common questions in Chilwell

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Chilwell and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Chilwell?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG9 postcode.
