When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hendre

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Hendre

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 also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Hendre

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Hendre?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LL32 postcode.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

When to call us in Hendre

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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