About our bath re-enamelling in Worlington

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

FAQs for Worlington

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Worlington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
