- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
When to call us in Walton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Walton
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Common questions in Walton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
