Bath re-enamelling in Wawne, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Wawne
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wawne
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wawne?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
