About our bath re-enamelling in West Chiltington
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When to call us in West Chiltington
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Repairing versus replacing in West Chiltington
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Chiltington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Advice
Questions from West Chiltington
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
