About our bath re-enamelling in Wasbister
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Wasbister questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Wasbister. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wasbister?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Every address in KW16 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. With the B9055 close by, Wasbister is easy for our repair technicians to reach. Neighbouring places we cover include Tenston (1 mile north), Grimeston (2 miles east), Russland (2 miles north-east), Bimbister (3 miles east) and Harray (3 miles north-east).

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

For landlords and businesses
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.
For anyone letting property in or around Wasbister, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wasbister
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wasbister. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 typically the cheaper route.
