Bath re-enamelling in Little Whelnetham, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Little Whelnetham
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Little Whelnetham
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
If you’re in Little Whelnetham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
