Bath re-enamelling in Wittensford, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wittensford

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Wittensford?

We do. Technicians travel to Wittensford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we’re called out for in Wittensford

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Wittensford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Wittensford

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
