Bath re-enamelling for Great Somerford homes

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Most clients in Great Somerford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath re-enamelling in Great Somerford without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our pricing and bath cost comparison.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Great Somerford: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you work in Great Somerford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Somerford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Great Somerford and the rest of Wiltshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Somerford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Great Somerford

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
