Bath re-enamelling in Westbrook without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Westbrook
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Westbrook. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Westbrook
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
