DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath re-enamelling in Gerlan, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Gerlan

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover the whole of Gwynedd?

We cover the entire UK, including Gerlan and the rest of Gwynedd. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gwynedd and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add 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.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
