Bath re-enamelling at your home in Westridge
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Westridge
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before booking anyone

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace in Westridge?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Westridge
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Westridge?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
What affects the price in Westridge
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
