How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whitkirk
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Whitkirk
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
For a price in Whitkirk, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
