How the visit works

- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive

Repair or replace in Compton Chamberlayne?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Compton Chamberlayne: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Compton Chamberlayne included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we are called out for in Compton Chamberlayne
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What affects the price in Compton Chamberlayne
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
