FAQs for Waterloo Port
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Waterloo Port
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

What we’re called out for in Waterloo Port
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
