Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling in Wolterton without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Wolterton questions
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you come to Wolterton?
We do. We send a technician to Wolterton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wolterton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wolterton
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What else we do in Wolterton
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
