Weare Giffard: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Bath re-enamelling in Weare Giffard, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why Weare Giffard customers choose us

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Weare Giffard
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
