Bath re-enamelling in Waterloo without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and stains that won’t shift, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterloo

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we are called out for in Waterloo

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Waterloo

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

What affects the price in Waterloo

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Waterloo?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
