Bath re-enamelling in Willingale, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Willingale
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Willingale
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- Aftercare advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Willingale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
