Bath re-enamelling in Wigley, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Wigley

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Wigley: your questions answered

Do you work in Wigley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wigley and the rest of Hampshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Wigley?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Landlord and trade work in Wigley

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we are called out for in Wigley

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
