Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
About our bath re-enamelling in Westwood
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What else we do in Westwood
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Westwood. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Westwood questions
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Westwood.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Westwood?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
