How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wiveliscombe
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Wiveliscombe questions
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Wiveliscombe?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
