Bath re-enamelling near Henllys

Bath re-enamelling in Henllys, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Henllys

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Torfaen. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Are there extra charges for Henllys?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
