What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Whitehill

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Questions from Whitehill

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ME13 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

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