Bath re-enamelling in Whitwell Common without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Whitwell Common and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Whitwell Common
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Whitwell Common questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitwell Common use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
