Bath re-enamelling in Wick without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for Wick
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wick. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Repair or replace in Wick?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What else we do in Wick
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wick?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
