The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed.

Waltham on the Wolds questions
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Waltham on the Wolds?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Waltham on the Wolds
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
