Bath re-enamelling in Watersheddings, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairing versus replacing in Watersheddings
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Watersheddings: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
