Bath re-enamelling for Gwernyfed homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gwernyfed

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Gwernyfed, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Questions from Gwernyfed

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Powys. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we’re called out for in Gwernyfed

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Gwernyfed contact us are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we work on in Gwernyfed

How to get a fixed quote
