Bath re-enamelling in Whitmore without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

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 usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Materials we work on in Whitmore

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

  • Basins & shower trays

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whitmore

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Are there extra charges for Whitmore?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in Whitmore

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Whitmore

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
