Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wickham Green
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wickham Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
