Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whitehill
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Whitehill questions
Do you cover Whitehill?
We do. We send a technician to Whitehill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Whitehill included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What affects the price in Whitehill
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DH2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Whitehill
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
When to call us in Whitehill
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Whitehill?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitehill
For developers and builders, we fix 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 to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
