Bath re-enamelling in Wigmore without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why Wigmore customers choose us

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wigmore
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When to call us in Wigmore
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
