Bath re-enamelling near Wellbrook

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 typically the cheaper route.

Bath re-enamelling in Wellbrook without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Wellbrook

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN20 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Wellbrook

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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