Need bath re-enamelling in Wickham Street?

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Wickham Street questions

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What affects the price in Wickham Street

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wickham Street?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
