Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Whitwell. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whitwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Most clients in Whitwell get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
