Bath re-enamelling for Westowe homes

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 is the part we put right.

Bath re-enamelling in Westowe, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Westowe. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Westowe, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westowe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Westowe questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the entire UK
