What affects the price in Whitton
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whitton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whitton
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Whitton
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitton
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Whitton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
