About our bath re-enamelling in Wheatcroft
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wheatcroft and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wheatcroft?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wheatcroft
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you cover Wheatcroft?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Wheatcroft from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
