Bath re-enamelling in Wightwick, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wightwick. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Wightwick
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wightwick?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WV6 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wightwick?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Look out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Stains that will not shift

- What aftercare is recommended

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
