Bath re-enamelling in Waberthwaite, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Waberthwaite questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Waberthwaite
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Waberthwaite. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes

- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
