Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Orton Waterville
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Orton Waterville

Common questions in Orton Waterville
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When to call us in Orton Waterville
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
