About our bath re-enamelling in Welney

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Welney: your questions answered

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What affects the price in Welney

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise 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.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Welney

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Welney use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
