Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 the part we put right.
About our bath re-enamelling in Whitestone
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Whitestone
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
Whitestone questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Whitestone?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
