Landlords, agents and businesses in Braich-talog

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Braich-talog: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gwynedd.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your LL57 postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairing versus replacing in Braich-talog

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we repair

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