Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wellington

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wellington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

What we are called out for in Wellington

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Wellington: your questions answered

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
