Bath re-enamelling in Whitchurch without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Whitchurch

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlord and trade work in Whitchurch

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whitchurch

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Whitchurch?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whitchurch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
