Bath re-enamelling in Wimbish without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wimbish

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. 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 if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Usually one visit, start to finish

When we’d advise against a repair

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

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

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
