Bath re-enamelling in Ivy Chimneys, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What affects the price in Ivy Chimneys
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in Ivy Chimneys
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ivy Chimneys
If you manage property in Ivy Chimneys, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Ivy Chimneys questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you cover Ivy Chimneys?
We do. We send a technician to Ivy Chimneys for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM16 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
