About our bath re-enamelling in Wilden
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Wilden
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Wilden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
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, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What else we do in Wilden
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Wilden: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
