Bath re-enamelling in Wilson, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Wilson

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wilson

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Repairing versus replacing in Wilson

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
