Bath re-enamelling in Westfield without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What affects the price in Westfield

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Westfield questions

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
