How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Chelborough
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in West Chelborough get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common questions in West Chelborough
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in West Chelborough?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why West Chelborough clients choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour-matched on site
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 the part we put right.
What we’re called out for in West Chelborough
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
