Bath Re-enamelling for Upper Wellingham homes
Problem with your bath in Upper Wellingham? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upper Wellingham
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upper Wellingham as everywhere else we work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Upper Wellingham
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Wellingham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Questions from Upper Wellingham
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
