How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wicken
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Wicken
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you cover Wicken?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wicken. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wicken.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Landlord and trade work in Wicken
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Wicken
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
