Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chuck Hatch. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common questions in Chuck Hatch
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Chuck Hatch
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you 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 most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
