About our bath re-enamelling in Chopwell
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Chopwell?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before booking

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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 what we repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Chopwell
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Chopwell, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When to call us in Chopwell
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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 Chopwell
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
