Bath re-enamelling in Badbury without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Badbury: your questions answered

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Repairing versus replacing in Badbury

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Badbury

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

When to call us in Badbury

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Look out for these signs:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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