How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lower Wellhouse

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Lower Wellhouse

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel 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, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What affects the price in Lower Wellhouse

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Lower Wellhouse

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
