Bath re-enamelling in Waterloo, done in place
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. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we are called out for in Waterloo
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Waterloo questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Waterloo?
We do. We send a technician to Waterloo for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 often lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
