How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bath re-enamelling in Bangor, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bangor

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bangor. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Questions from Bangor

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bangor?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Bangor included. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

For a price in Bangor, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
