Claverton Down questions

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Bath re-enamelling in Claverton Down without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Claverton Down
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Claverton Down?
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Claverton Down. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
