Bath re-enamelling in Waterham without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Waterham

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

Landlord and trade work in Waterham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in Waterham

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

  • What preparation is included

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
