How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Wilmington. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wilmington
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Wilmington: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you come to Wilmington?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Wilmington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlord and trade work in Wilmington
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilmington use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
