Bath re-enamelling in Whittington without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Common problems we fix in Whittington
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Whittington questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Whittington?
We do. We send a technician to Whittington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whittington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Whittington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
