Bath re-enamelling in Lower Welson, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Lower Welson
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Lower Welson, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Lower Welson
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
