About our bath re-enamelling in Whale Hill
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whale Hill and across Middlesbrough.

Whale Hill: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you cover Whale Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whale Hill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
