About our bath re-enamelling in Gwalchmai

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Gwalchmai

How soon can you come?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you cover Gwalchmai?

We do. We send a technician to Gwalchmai for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gwalchmai. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

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

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

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’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.
