Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wistanstow
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Advice
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 will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Common questions in Wistanstow
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you work in Wistanstow?
We do. Technicians travel to Wistanstow from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Wistanstow?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
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 quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we are called out for in Wistanstow
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
- If travel is included in the price
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
