Bath re-enamelling in Trowbridge without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Trowbridge?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Trowbridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Trowbridge

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trowbridge as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is 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.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
