Bath re-enamelling for Little Wittenham homes

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Wittenham

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Little Wittenham: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Little Wittenham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price
