Landlords, agents and businesses in Whiddon Down
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whiddon Down
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Whiddon Down
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Whiddon Down, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Whiddon Down
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Whiddon Down
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
