About our bath re-enamelling in Bronllys

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Bronllys

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
