About our bath re-enamelling in Wickhambreaux
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Advice
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Wickhambreaux
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wickhambreaux
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What affects the price in Wickhambreaux
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wickhambreaux. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
