What affects the price in Wilsden
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wilsden. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Bath re-enamelling in Wilsden, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When to call us in Wilsden
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wilsden
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you cover Wilsden?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wilsden. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
