Book bath re-enamelling in Wissington

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

About our bath re-enamelling in Wissington

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Common questions in Wissington

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wissington?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Comparing quotes

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Wissington

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.
