What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wherrytown

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Wherrytown

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Wherrytown. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wherrytown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
