About our bath re-enamelling in Wilkieston
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Wilkieston
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Wilkieston questions
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
