Bath re-enamelling at your home in Waterdale
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

When to call us in Waterdale
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterdale use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Waterdale: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Waterdale?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Waterdale. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
