Bath re-enamelling at your home in Caeffynnon

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Caeffynnon and across Ceredigion.

When to call us in Caeffynnon

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What affects the price in Caeffynnon

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Caeffynnon and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
