FAQs for Waterford
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Bath re-enamelling in Waterford without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Other services in Waterford
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Waterford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Waterford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
