Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whaddon
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Whaddon as everywhere else we work.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Whaddon
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whaddon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
