DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Low Westwood
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Low Westwood?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Low Westwood: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Low Westwood?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Low Westwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
