Bath re-enamelling in Wicken Bonhunt without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repair or replace in Wicken Bonhunt?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Wicken Bonhunt
