For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath re-enamelling in Chelworth, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chelworth and across Wiltshire.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

- Worn patches where water runs and sits

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Common questions in Chelworth
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you come to Chelworth?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Chelworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Repair or replace in Chelworth?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chelworth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
