Bath re-enamelling in Wickmere

About our bath re-enamelling in Wickmere

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. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Wickmere questions

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Repairing versus replacing in Wickmere

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we can’t put right

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Wickmere. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
