Bath re-enamelling in Wiston, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Common problems we fix in Wiston
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Wiston. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wiston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
