When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wilmington
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Wilmington: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What we are called out for in Wilmington
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
