What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we are called out for in Walker
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Thin, worn enamel in places

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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Walker

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Walker
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
