Bath re-enamelling in Westley without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Westley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Westley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Westley
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Westley. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
