Bath re-enamelling near Abergele

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Abergele 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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Abergele as everywhere else we work.

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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 rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

FAQs for Abergele

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Abergele included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
