Bath re-enamelling in Bae Colwyn

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bae Colwyn

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Bae Colwyn

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Bae Colwyn clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LL29 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Bae Colwyn

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we’re called out for in Bae Colwyn

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
