Bath re-enamelling at your home in Higher Chisworth
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Higher Chisworth
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What affects the price in Higher Chisworth
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SK13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Higher Chisworth
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common problems we fix in Higher Chisworth
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
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’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
