Bath re-enamelling in The Wisp without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The Wisp: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we’re called out for in The Wisp
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Customers usually contact us about:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
