Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

About our bath re-enamelling in Willington
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. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

When to call us in Willington
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Willington questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Willington is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
