Landlord and trade work in Whitchurch
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whitchurch
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. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common questions in Whitchurch
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Whitchurch?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What we are called out for in Whitchurch
Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include

- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Whitchurch?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
