Bath re-enamelling in Gowerton

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gowerton

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Gowerton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Repair or replace in Gowerton?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gowerton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list or bath cost comparison.

What affects the price in Gowerton

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gowerton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, 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.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Gowerton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

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.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When to call us in Gowerton

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
