About our bath re-enamelling in Vastern
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Our work in Vastern
Vastern is about 6 miles west of Swindon, in Swindon. We travel to homes and businesses in Vastern and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Vastern is one of 68 towns and villages in Swindon where we work. We work right across the region, from Vastern to Birmingham (65 miles away).
Every address in SN4 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Jobs here include addresses on Hunts Mill Road and Vastern Wharf. Nearby, we also work in Tockenham Wick (1 mile south-west), Tockenham (2 miles south-west), Bushton (2 miles south), Lyneham (2 miles south-west) and Sodom (3 miles west). Further out, we also cover Swindon (6 miles east), Stratton St Margaret (8 miles north-east), Haydon Wick (6 miles north-east), Priory Vale (7 miles north-east), Freshbrook (4 miles east) and Shaw (5 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Vastern
We visit homes around Waggon And Horses pub, Wootton Bassett Infants' School and Royal Wootton Bassett Academy and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Lyneham Clack Mount (3.6 miles south-west) and Princess Margaret Hospital (5.6 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Great Wood.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Vastern as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
