Trusted bath re-enamelling in Chippenham

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bath re-enamelling in Chippenham without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Chippenham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Chippenham

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Chippenham

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chippenham

For anyone letting property in or around Chippenham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
