Bath re-enamelling in Wiston, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Wiston

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Wiston
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wiston?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
