How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whiteley
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
