Bath re-enamelling in Glan-rhyd

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Glan-rhyd

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. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Glan-rhyd

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Glan-rhyd.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Glan-rhyd

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
