Bath re-enamelling in Whitehough Head without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Common questions in Whitehough Head
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A fixed quote before you book
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Whitehough Head
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Whitehough Head. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
