What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Wetheral: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Common problems we fix in Wetheral
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wetheral
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wetheral as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
