Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wolsingham
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wolsingham
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What else we do in Wolsingham
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Wolsingham?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Wolsingham
