About our bath re-enamelling in Fishguard

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fishguard and across Pembrokeshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Fishguard. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

There are no surprise 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should you replace it?

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 are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Fishguard

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Common questions in Fishguard

Can landlords book you?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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