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. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath

Most customers in Faulston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Faulston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Common problems we fix in Faulston

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
