Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whitewood
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Whitewood
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Repair or replace in Whitewood?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. What it costs 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitewood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Whitewood. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Whitewood get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
