Bath re-enamelling in Waldley, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
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.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Waldley
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Waldley
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
