Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wookey

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Wookey

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Wookey

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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