What we are called out for in Wincheap
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wincheap
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Wincheap: your questions answered
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Wincheap?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Wincheap, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
