Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wilmorton
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Wilmorton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Wilmorton: your questions answered

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
