How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job 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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you are 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 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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Veldo. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Veldo, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Veldo

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Veldo customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Veldo: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?

The entire UK, including all of Herefordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Common problems we fix in Veldo

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
