Bath re-enamelling near Little Somerford

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Little Somerford

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What affects the price in Little Somerford

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you do not 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 you will get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Little Somerford

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

Little Somerford: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on
