Bath Re-enamelling in Wych Cross
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Wych Cross, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Bath re-enamelling in Wych Cross without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wych Cross
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What affects the price in Wych Cross
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
