Wingates: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Wingates. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wingates?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Repair or replace in Wingates?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
