We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Higher Whitley?

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Higher Whitley questions

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Do you come to Higher Whitley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Higher Whitley. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Higher Whitley. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
