How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wilcove
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What affects the price in Wilcove
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos 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.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- Typically one visit, start to finish

What else we do in Wilcove
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common questions in Wilcove
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to Wilcove?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Wilcove from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When to call us in Wilcove
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
