For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Bath re-enamelling in Lower Whitley, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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 is what we repair.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Lower Whitley
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Whitley

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lower Whitley
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Lower Whitley included. Travel is included in the price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
