Bath Re-enamelling for Walderslade homes
Bath re-enamelling in Walderslade without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
About our bath re-enamelling in Walderslade
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walderslade as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Walderslade
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole

What affects the price in Walderslade
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
