Bath re-enamelling in Whippingham, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
FAQs for Whippingham
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
