Bath re-enamelling in Caeathro, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Caeathro and across Gwynedd.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Caeathro, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

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.

FAQs for Caeathro

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Caeathro

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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