Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Wistow: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Wistow?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you come to Wistow?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wistow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Wistow
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
