Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dolgarrog

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dolgarrog

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you cover the entire of Conwy?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Dolgarrog. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

When to call us in Dolgarrog

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Several chips and rust patches

  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
