Bath Re-enamelling in Great Western Park
Bath re-enamelling across Great Western Park and nearby, normally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Great Western Park
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Western Park use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Great Western Park. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Great Western Park, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Common questions in Great Western Park
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
