We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Blaenau Ffestiniog

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

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 you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair

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

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Blaenau Ffestiniog

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL41 postcode.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
