Bath re-enamelling in Welham Green without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Welham Green

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Welham Green.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you work in Welham Green?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Welham Green. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Welham Green

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Welham Green. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we’re called out for in Welham Green

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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.
