About our bath re-enamelling in Whitehawk
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we’re called out for in Whitehawk
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitehawk
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Whitehawk, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
