Common questions in Higher Chillington
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
About our bath re-enamelling in Higher Chillington
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace in Higher Chillington?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Higher Chillington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Higher Chillington customers choose us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlord and trade work in Higher Chillington
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Higher Chillington

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
