Bath re-enamelling for Grovesend homes

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

About our bath re-enamelling in Grovesend

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. We are frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Grovesend?

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 picture if you notice any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

Grovesend: your questions answered

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Swansea.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grovesend use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

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 typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
