Repair or replace in Little Witcombe?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: 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.

Bath re-enamelling in Little Witcombe without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Little Witcombe: your questions answered
Is there a smell?

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
