Bath re-enamelling in Whitford, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What else we do in Whitford
When to call us in Whitford
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Whitford customers choose us
- Everything repaired in place

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Whitford: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
