Bath re-enamelling in Rodbourne

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

Bath re-enamelling in Rodbourne, done in place

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rodbourne and across Swindon.

Rodbourne: your questions answered

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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.

Do you work in Rodbourne?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Rodbourne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
