Bath Re-enamelling in Wiswell
Problem with your bath in Wiswell? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Wiswell, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wiswell
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Wiswell
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions from Wiswell
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What else we do in Wiswell
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
