Bath re-enamelling in Chippenham, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Questions from Chippenham

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Chippenham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Chippenham?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
