Bath re-enamelling for Garn-Las homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Garn-Las

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Garn-Las. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garn-Las

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Garn-Las, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Garn-Las. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
