What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Wethersfield without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Wethersfield
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal

Surfaces we repair

- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Wethersfield. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Wethersfield questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
