Trusted bath re-enamelling in Wootton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

About our bath re-enamelling in Wootton

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste.

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

Landlord and trade work in Wootton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wootton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Wootton: your questions answered

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 do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wootton?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common problems we fix in Wootton

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
