Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Idstone
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common questions in Idstone
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Idstone. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swindon.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. 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.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Idstone
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
