Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bishopstone, Swindon
Our repair technicians come to Bishopstone for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Bath re-enamelling in Bishopstone without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace in Bishopstone?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When to call us in Bishopstone
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
