Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whitehills

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done 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.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Whitehills questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover Whitehills?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whitehills and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Whitehills?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Whitehills

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whitehills. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
