About our bath re-enamelling in Willington
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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 you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What affects the price in Willington
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Willington

What we are called out for in Willington
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Common questions in Willington
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
