Bath re-enamelling in Chipping Warden without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Chipping Warden
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. 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.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the whole UK

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chipping Warden?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Chipping Warden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
