Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
About our bath re-enamelling in Kilmington
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Common questions in Kilmington
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repairs by material
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 what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kilmington?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
What affects the price in Kilmington
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
