Bath re-enamelling at your home in Walkford
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

When to call us in Walkford
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business

Landlord and trade work in Walkford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walkford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
