Bath re-enamelling in Whitwell, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Whitwell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Questions from Whitwell
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
