How we handle bath re-enamelling in Walpole Cross Keys
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Walpole Cross Keys
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Walpole Cross Keys and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
