Bath re-enamelling in Wick, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Wick

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common problems we fix in Wick

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

What affects the price in Wick

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
