Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Felindre and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Felindre

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that won’t shift

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Felindre

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Felindre

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
