About our bath re-enamelling in West Dean
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in West Dean and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for West Dean. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Common questions in West Dean
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Are there extra charges for West Dean?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wiltshire.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Common problems we fix in West Dean
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
