How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wain Lee
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. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Wain Lee: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What areas do you cover?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wain Lee
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
