Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Bath re-enamelling in Wigton 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 technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Common questions in Wigton
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wigton.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Wigton. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
