Bath Re-enamelling for Whitnage homes
Bath re-enamelling across Whitnage and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whitnage
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Whitnage questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you cover Whitnage?
We do. Technicians travel to Whitnage from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Different materials, different repairs
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
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
