What we’re called out for in Whittington

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Bath re-enamelling in Whittington without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whittington and across Shropshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add 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.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

FAQs for Whittington

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

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

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SY11 postcode.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
