Bath re-enamelling in Aveton Gifford, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Common questions in Aveton Gifford
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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 until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Aveton Gifford, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Aveton Gifford?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
