Bath re-enamelling in Widewall, done in place
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 regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What else we do in Widewall
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Widewall
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Widewall?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Widewall?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Widewall
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is 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:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
