Bath re-enamelling in Whitmore

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

About our bath re-enamelling in Whitmore

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitmore use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Whitmore: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When to call us in Whitmore

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
