How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wenhaston
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wenhaston and across Suffolk.

What affects the price in Wenhaston
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Wenhaston. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Wenhaston: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
