Bath re-enamelling in Coelbren

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coelbren

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coelbren

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Coelbren

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Coelbren: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Coelbren included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. 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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Coelbren

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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