Bath Re-enamelling in Waterfront
Damaged bath in Waterfront? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Waterfront
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s what we repair.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Waterfront
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Waterfront?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Waterfront from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we are called out for in Waterfront
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
