What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Watchfield

Bath re-enamelling in Watchfield, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Watchfield and across Swindon.

Repair or replace in Watchfield?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What affects the price in Watchfield

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Watchfield: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to Watchfield?

We do. We send a technician to Watchfield for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Watchfield. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Watchfield?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Watchfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
