Bath re-enamelling near Welford

Bath re-enamelling in Welford without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Welford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Welford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Welford: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

When to call us in Welford

  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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