Bath Re-enamelling in Lydiard Millicent
Our technicians come to Lydiard Millicent for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lydiard Millicent
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common problems we fix in Lydiard Millicent

Look out for these signs:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
