Bath Re-enamelling in Wilpshire
Damaged bath in Wilpshire? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Bath re-enamelling in Wilpshire without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What we’re called out for in Wilpshire
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that will not shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common questions in Wilpshire
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

What else we do in Wilpshire
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilpshire as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Wilpshire
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
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 is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
