Trusted bath re-enamelling in Martinslade

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Martinslade

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Martinslade. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Martinslade and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Martinslade as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for 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’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we’re called out for in Martinslade

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Common questions in Martinslade

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Martinslade and the rest of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
