- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Repair or replace in Wheatacre?
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. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Most jobs done in one visit

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Advice
What affects the price in Wheatacre
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Wheatacre: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When to call us in Wheatacre
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
