About our bath re-enamelling in Foelgastell

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Foelgastell and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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 any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What affects the price in Foelgastell

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

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

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Foelgastell, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Foelgastell

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
