Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Bath re-enamelling in Whitwood without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
FAQs for Whitwood
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitwood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in Whitwood
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
