What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through

- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repairing versus replacing in Waltham
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in Waltham
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Waltham?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Near you in Waltham
In Waltham, that means homes near Waltham Leas Primary Academy, Church of All Saints and Tollbar Academy, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Grimsby Town station, about 3.4 miles north. A little further out are Grimsby Castle (4 miles north) and Doughty Museum (3.6 miles north).
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waltham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
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.
What affects the price in Waltham
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Waltham. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
