How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wrangle

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. We are often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in Wrangle

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

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.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wrangle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Wrangle

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When to call us in Wrangle

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

Look out for these signs:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
