About our bath re-enamelling in Calne

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Calne

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Calne. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
