10 questions to ask before you book

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whittingham

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Whittingham questions

Do you cover Whittingham?

We do. We send a technician to Whittingham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

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.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
