Bath re-enamelling in Wavertree, 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 a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common questions in Wavertree
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you come to Wavertree?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wavertree and the rest of Liverpool. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What areas do you cover?
All of Liverpool, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace in Wavertree?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Wavertree?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
