Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cholderton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cholderton
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Repairing versus replacing in Cholderton
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Cholderton. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
