Bath re-enamelling in Whepstead without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Whepstead
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Whepstead
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Whepstead
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When to call us in Whepstead
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Look out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
