What else we do in Whetstone
What we are called out for in Whetstone
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whetstone
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whetstone. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Whetstone 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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
