Bath re-enamelling for Wendover homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Wendover

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wendover

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Wendover

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
