Bath re-enamelling in Whiteclosegate, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whiteclosegate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Whiteclosegate: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repairing versus replacing in Whiteclosegate
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
