Our technicians come to Whipsiderry for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath re-enamelling in Whipsiderry without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Common problems we fix in Whipsiderry
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Common reasons people in Whipsiderry contact us include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Whipsiderry
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whipsiderry
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Whipsiderry?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
