Bath re-enamelling at your home in Betws Cedewain

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Betws Cedewain

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Betws Cedewain

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Betws Cedewain: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Betws Cedewain?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Betws Cedewain. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
