Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Hirael customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Bath re-enamelling in Hirael without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hirael and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hirael use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hirael

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

Hirael: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Hirael and the rest of Gwynedd. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will the new finish last?

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.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
