Bath Re-enamelling in Whitle
Damaged bath in Whitle? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath re-enamelling in Whitle, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

FAQs for Whitle
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Related advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
