About our bath re-enamelling in Water End
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Water End?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- What prep work is covered
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Water End
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Water End questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
