How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Challow
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What else we do in West Challow
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Repairing versus replacing in West Challow
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
