Trusted bath re-enamelling in Whoberley

Bath re-enamelling in Whoberley without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and stains that won’t shift.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Whoberley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Whoberley

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Whoberley customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

When to call us in Whoberley

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Whoberley: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Whoberley?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CV5 postcode.

Do you work in Whoberley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whoberley and the rest of Coventry. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
