Bath Re-enamelling in Wickham Skeith
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Wickham Skeith, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Wickham Skeith, done in place
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wickham Skeith?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wickham Skeith. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
