Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Wingate
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Common questions in Wingate
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work in Wingate?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wingate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wingate?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish

Landlord and trade work in Wingate
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wingate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What else we do in Wingate
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
