Bath re-enamelling near Whitehall

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Whitehall, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Whitehall

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Landlord and trade work in Whitehall

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Whitehall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Whitehall

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
