Bath re-enamelling near Wigginton

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wigginton

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wigginton and across York.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Wigginton

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
