Bath re-enamelling in Wickridge Street without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Wickridge Street
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wickridge Street
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Wickridge Street, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
