Bath re-enamelling at your home in East Whitburn
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for East Whitburn
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
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.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so East Whitburn is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East Whitburn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
