Bath re-enamelling at your home in Windygates
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’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Windygates
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- One price list for the whole UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Windygates. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Windygates, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Questions from Windygates
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
