FAQs for Whittlesey
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are there extra charges for Whittlesey?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

Repairs by material
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, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When to call us in Whittlesey
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlord and trade work in Whittlesey
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
