What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cold Ashton
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Cold Ashton
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work in Cold Ashton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Cold Ashton and the rest of Wiltshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Cold Ashton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Cold Ashton.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
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.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
