Trusted bath re-enamelling in Wellingore

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wellingore

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wellingore and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wellingore

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Wellingore and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What affects the price in Wellingore

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Wellingore. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
