How we handle bath re-enamelling in Whorlton
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we are called out for in Whorlton
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places

What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Whorlton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
