Bath re-enamelling in Whiston, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Whiston?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Whiston
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Whiston.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, 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.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
Most customers in Whiston get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace in Whiston?
