Bath re-enamelling in Chirbury without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chirbury as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Chirbury
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Common reasons people in Chirbury contact us are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Chirbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
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
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.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Chirbury: your questions answered
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
