About our bath re-enamelling 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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and several chips and rust patches.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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 also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Chilworth: your questions answered
Do you cover Chilworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chilworth and the rest of Surrey. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chilworth?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
