How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wigshaw

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Wigshaw, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When to call us in Wigshaw

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Wigshaw: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Wigshaw.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Wigshaw?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
