Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from Wiggins Hill

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you work in Wiggins Hill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Wiggins Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wiggins Hill?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
