About our bath re-enamelling in Whaddon

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Whaddon

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

There’s 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.

Advice

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whaddon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common questions in Whaddon

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Whaddon?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your MK17 postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Whaddon. Our prices are the same everywhere.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Whaddon

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
