About our bath re-enamelling in Wothorpe
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and worn patches where water runs and sits.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Wothorpe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
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 get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Wothorpe questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wothorpe. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wothorpe
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Wothorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
