Bath re-enamelling in Waterlane without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
If you’re in Waterlane and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Waterlane
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have chips seen to early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Waterlane?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Questions from Waterlane
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you work in Waterlane?
We do. Technicians travel to Waterlane from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
