About our bath re-enamelling in Wilton

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wilton

Do you work in Wilton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wilton and the rest of Herefordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Are there extra charges for Wilton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we work on in Wilton

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Wilton

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
