Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bardsey

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and thin, worn enamel in places.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Honest limits

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

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Bardsey

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bardsey?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bardsey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Bardsey

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bardsey. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
