About our bath re-enamelling in Widegates
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Widegates
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Widegates use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Widegates: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What affects the price in Widegates
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Widegates, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
