Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whaddon
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whaddon
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Whaddon
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
