How we handle bath re-enamelling in Glan-yr-afon

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Glan-yr-afon as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Glan-yr-afon

Do you come to Glan-yr-afon?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Glan-yr-afon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the 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. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Glan-yr-afon

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we work on in Glan-yr-afon

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Glan-yr-afon?

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 whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise 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.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
