Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whiston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Whiston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Whiston

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Whiston: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you come to Whiston?

We do. Technicians travel to Whiston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Whiston?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
