Bath re-enamelling for Welham homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Welham

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Welham questions

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE16 postcode.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you cover Welham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Welham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

For landlords and businesses

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Welham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Welham. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

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

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Welham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
