Bath Re-enamelling for Wapley homes
Bath re-enamelling across Wapley and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Repairing versus replacing in Wapley
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Wapley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
