- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Bath re-enamelling in Whitehouse, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Whitehouse
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Whitehouse and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Whitehouse, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
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 is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit 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, then guarantee it for a year.
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 pictures.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whitehouse
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
