About our bath re-enamelling in Whiteway

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Questions from Whiteway

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Whiteway?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BA2 postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BA2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
