Bath re-enamelling in Wyther without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wyther as everywhere else we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Wyther: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wyther?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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