Bath re-enamelling at your home in Waldridge
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Waldridge and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in Waldridge
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waldridge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Waldridge
- Cast iron baths

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in Waldridge
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
