Landlords, agents and businesses in Waddon
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath re-enamelling in Waddon without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Waddon
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Waddon?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Waddon
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Are there extra charges for Waddon?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
