Bath re-enamelling in Aberystwyth without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairing versus replacing in Aberystwyth

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Aberystwyth. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberystwyth

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Aberystwyth

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
