What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wootton Fitzpaine?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Clients generally contact us about:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Wootton Fitzpaine: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
