Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Whitegrove, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

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 what we repair.

Landlord and trade work in Whitegrove

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Whitegrove customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are

Whitegrove: your questions answered

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there a smell?

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Whitegrove. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Whitegrove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
