Melverley: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Melverley included. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Melverley?
We do. We send a technician to Melverley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Melverley
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Melverley
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Melverley. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Melverley
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Melverley
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
