Bath re-enamelling at your home in Waterrow
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Waterrow
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Other services in Waterrow

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Waterrow?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that is seen better days
