How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we’re called out for in Whitehall

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairs by material

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Whitehall: your questions answered

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you come to Whitehall?

We do. Technicians travel to Whitehall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I fix it myself?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitehall

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Whitehall customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitehall

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitehall as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
