Bath Re-enamelling in Wiltshire

How bath re-enamelling works in Wiltshire

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Prices in Wiltshire

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Local landmarks in Salisbury

We visit homes around George and Dragon pub, former Church of St Edmund and Chafyn Grove School. Other local landmarks include Sarum St Paul's CofE (VA) Primary School (within half a mile west), South Wilts Grammar School (within half a mile north) and Corn Exchange (within half a mile south). The closest station to Salisbury is Salisbury station, about 0.5 miles south-west of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Harvard Hospital (1.5 miles south) and Old Sarum Castle (1.3 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Harnham Hill.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wiltshire as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Wiltshire, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Questions from Wiltshire

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
