When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wimbolds Trafford
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wimbolds Trafford

What else we do in Wimbolds Trafford
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
