Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Bath re-enamelling in Friog, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Friog

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Friog. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Friog. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Friog, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Friog

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Friog: your questions answered

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you cover Friog?

We do. Technicians travel to Friog from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Friog?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Friog?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
