Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath re-enamelling in Chipping without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Chipping: your questions answered
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover Chipping?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Chipping from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Chipping and the surrounding area
Chipping is about 6 miles south of Royston, in Hertfordshire. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, plus businesses and rented homes. We cover all 381 towns and villages in Hertfordshire. Our jobs stretch from Chipping to London (about 32 miles away).
We work across the SG9 postcode area and the streets around it. Close by, we cover Wyddial (1 mile east), Buckland (1 mile north), Throcking (1 mile south-west), Layston (1 mile south-east) and Buntingford (2 miles south-east).

In Chipping, that means homes near Freman College and The Countryman pub. A little further out are Anstey Hales Farm (3.8 miles east). The countryside around Chipping includes Hawkins Wood.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repair or replace in Chipping?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Chipping clients choose us
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chipping
If you manage property in Chipping, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- 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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
