How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Our hiring checklist

Replacing a bath typically 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whitecliff

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Whitecliff

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Whitecliff. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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