Bath re-enamelling in Broad Chalke without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When to call us in Broad Chalke
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Common reasons people in Broad Chalke contact us include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Questions from Broad Chalke
Do you cover the entire of Wiltshire?
All of Wiltshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
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 do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Broad Chalke. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Broad Chalke, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
