Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Waterside, Buckinghamshire
Problem with your bath in Waterside? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Bath re-enamelling in Waterside, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Waterside questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Waterside?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Waterside
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.
Common reasons people in Waterside contact us include:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Waterside get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
