Bath re-enamelling at your home in Waddon
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Common questions in Waddon
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Waddon?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CR0 postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Waddon.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

When to call us in Waddon
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Waddon, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
