Bath re-enamelling in Waddicar without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waddicar
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Waddicar
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Waddicar
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Questions from Waddicar
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Other services in Waddicar
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
