Bath re-enamelling in East Chiltington, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste.
In a village like East Chiltington, some baths have been in for many years. If the bath is sound, bath re-enamelling gives it a new lease of life.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included. Somewhere as small as East Chiltington, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the bath re-enamelling works exactly as anywhere else.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
What we are called out for in East Chiltington
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
If you let a flat or house near Plumpton station (about 0.7 miles north-west), we repair baths between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. In an older home in a village like East Chiltington, replacing a bath can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
