Trusted bath re-enamelling in Westrip

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling in Westrip without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Westrip. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Westrip, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we are called out for in Westrip

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Westrip questions

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
