Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Craig Llangiwg without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Questions from Craig Llangiwg

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Craig Llangiwg?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Craig Llangiwg. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.
