Bath re-enamelling near Banwen

What affects the price in Banwen

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Banwen. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Bath re-enamelling in Banwen, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Banwen

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before booking anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked 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. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
