Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Wilby
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wilby and across Suffolk.

Landlord and trade work in Wilby
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Wilby
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Wilby: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
