Bath re-enamelling near Badbury Wick

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Badbury Wick

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swindon.

Common questions in Badbury Wick

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Get a quote

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SN4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
