Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

About our bath re-enamelling in Whiteshill

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Whiteshill. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most customers in Whiteshill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Whiteshill

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Whiteshill: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Whiteshill and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Whiteshill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
