Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Bath re-enamelling in Westerhope, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Westerhope questions
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Landlord and trade work in Westerhope
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Westerhope
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
