Bath re-enamelling in New Whittington, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colour-matched on site

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we’re called out for in New Whittington
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone

- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What affects the price in New Whittington
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
