About our bath re-enamelling in Whitehouse
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and chips and rust in more than one place.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitehouse. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Fixed prices from your pictures

FAQs for Whitehouse
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you work in Whitehouse?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Whitehouse. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Whitehouse. Prices don’t change with location.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What affects the price in Whitehouse
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Whitehouse, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
