Bath re-enamelling in Walcot without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Walcot: your questions answered
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
When to call us in Walcot
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Walcot
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Walcot. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
