Firsdown: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Bath re-enamelling in Firsdown, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Firsdown and across Wiltshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Firsdown, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.

What else we do in Firsdown
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repair or replace in Firsdown?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Firsdown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
