About our bath re-enamelling in Wilby
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wilby and across Norfolk.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wilby
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Wilby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Wilby
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
