Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

About our bath re-enamelling in Wickham

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Wickham

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wickham?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG20 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of West Berkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Wickham, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
