Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wilton?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

About our bath re-enamelling in Wilton

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Wilton. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Questions from Wilton

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wilton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
