- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Whitwick
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Whitwick. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Whitwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Whitwick and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Whitwick
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white

Repairing versus replacing in Whitwick
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
