Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wellington
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: 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 affects the price in Wellington
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wellington
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wellington
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Wellington?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wellington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
