Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Upper Whiston, Rotherham
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Upper Whiston and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
About our bath re-enamelling in Upper Whiston
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rotherham.

Upper Whiston: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Upper Whiston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upper Whiston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Upper Whiston?

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
