Bath re-enamelling at your home in Well Street
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Well Street
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Other services in Well Street
Landlord and trade work in Well Street
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Well Street: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are there extra charges for Well Street?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Well Street?
We do. We send a technician to Well Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
