Need bath re-enamelling in Purton?

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

About our bath re-enamelling in Purton

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. 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, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Purton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common questions in Purton

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Purton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swindon.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
