Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface.

Repairing versus replacing in Frongoch

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Frongoch?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Common reasons people in Frongoch contact us include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
