What we do, step by step

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Glanvilles Wootton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Glanvilles Wootton
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
FAQs for Glanvilles Wootton
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
When to call us in Glanvilles Wootton
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
Landlords, agents and businesses in Glanvilles Wootton
For anyone letting property in or around Glanvilles Wootton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
