Common problems we fix in Wheelton
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Wheelton questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Wheelton is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Wheelton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
