Do you need bath re-enamelling in Westhouses?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift

Bath re-enamelling in Westhouses, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairing versus replacing in Westhouses
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair

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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Westhouses
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Westhouses?
We do. We send a technician to Westhouses for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Westhouses. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Landlord and trade work in Westhouses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
