Bath re-enamelling at your home in Chipperfield
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Chipperfield
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
