How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wilday Green

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilday Green

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wilday Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Wilday Green clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Wilday Green

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How to care for the finish

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

Wilday Green: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wilday Green?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Are there extra charges for Wilday Green?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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