Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Coate, Swindon
Bath re-enamelling across Coate and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coate
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Coate
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Coate questions
Do you come to Coate?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Coate and the rest of Swindon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Swindon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

- Cast iron baths

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in Coate
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Coate and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
