Common questions in Wardhill
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Bath re-enamelling in Wardhill without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wardhill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Wardhill
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Wardhill customers choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
