Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in West Knoyle
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to West Knoyle. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Knoyle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BA12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in West Knoyle
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Knoyle use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Advice
West Knoyle questions
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work in West Knoyle?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to West Knoyle and the rest of Wiltshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
