- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
About our bath re-enamelling in Wick
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wick
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
