Bath re-enamelling near Vellow

Bath re-enamelling in Vellow, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Vellow

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our pricing and bath cost comparison.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Vellow. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Vellow. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Vellow

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you work in Vellow?

We do. We send a technician to Vellow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
