How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whatcote
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whatcote and across Warwickshire.

Whatcote: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you come to Whatcote?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Whatcote. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Whatcote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Common problems we fix in Whatcote
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before booking anyone

Repairing versus replacing in Whatcote
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
What affects the price in Whatcote
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Whatcote get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
