Bath re-enamelling in Wellington

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

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

Bath re-enamelling in Wellington without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wellington and across Telford and Wrekin.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wellington

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you work in Wellington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wellington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Wellington. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Wellington, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wellington, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Wellington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wellington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
