How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wem

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Wem questions

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wem?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you cover Wem?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Wem and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Wem?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
