Need bath re-enamelling in Whitley Head?

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Advice

Common questions in Whitley Head

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we’re called out for in Whitley Head

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
