About our bath re-enamelling in Garnlydan

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Garnlydan

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Garnlydan. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Garnlydan questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

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 hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Garnlydan

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

Repairing versus replacing in Garnlydan

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What we are called out for in Garnlydan

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
