About our bath re-enamelling in Great Chilton
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Great Chilton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Great Chilton
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you come to Great Chilton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Great Chilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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 check it carefully.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
