Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
About our bath re-enamelling in Waltham St Lawrence
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Waltham St Lawrence and across Wokingham.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
