  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

About our bath re-enamelling in Wentnor

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Wentnor?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What affects the price in Wentnor

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wentnor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Wentnor, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wentnor

For anyone letting property in or around Wentnor, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wentnor

Are you accredited?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
