How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whaplode Drove
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlord and trade work in Whaplode Drove
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whaplode Drove as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Whaplode Drove.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What we are called out for in Whaplode Drove
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
The most common problems we’re called about are:

- Several chips and rust patches

Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
