Bath re-enamelling in Wix Green

Bath re-enamelling in Wix Green without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wix Green

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Most customers in Wix Green get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Landlord and trade work in Wix Green

For anyone letting property in or around Wix Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Wix Green

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
