How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wheelock
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Wheelock questions
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Common problems we fix in Wheelock
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
