How we handle bath re-enamelling in Carreghofa

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Carreghofa

For developers and builders, we fix 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 to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Carreghofa

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carreghofa. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Carreghofa

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Carreghofa questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Will the bath be moved?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
