How we handle bath re-enamelling in Warter
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Warter as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Warter, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Warter
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Warter?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Warter. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Warter. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
