How we handle bath re-enamelling in Walcote
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Walcote
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What affects the price in Walcote
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Walcote. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we’re called out for in Walcote
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Walcote
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Walcote. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the entire UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
