Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chilworth
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chilworth
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Chilworth: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Southampton.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Chilworth?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SO16 postcode.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Chilworth included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What affects the price in Chilworth
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Chilworth. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilworth
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
