Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Waterend
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. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Waterend
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Waterend?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Waterend for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Waterend included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Waterend?
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
