About our bath re-enamelling in Wykin
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Wykin. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Wykin
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Questions from Wykin
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Wykin?
We do. Technicians travel to Wykin from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What else we do in Wykin
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
