About our bath re-enamelling in Wanborough

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Wanborough, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wanborough use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wanborough

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wanborough. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price
