DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Croes y pant

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Croes y pant clients choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Croes y pant

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Croes y pant?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

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

How do I book?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you are in Croes y pant and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Croes y pant

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
