How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chilworth Old Village
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Chilworth Old Village
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Chilworth Old Village
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you work in Chilworth Old Village?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chilworth Old Village from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Chilworth Old Village?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
