Bath re-enamelling in Rodbourne without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Rodbourne: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Wiltshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Rodbourne and the rest of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rodbourne
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wiltshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rodbourne. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rodbourne?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
