Bath re-enamelling for Whitecross homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whitecross

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When to call us in Whitecross

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Questions from Whitecross

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

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

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
