Bath re-enamelling in Welby, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Welby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Welby as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Welby
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
