Bath re-enamelling for Hoel-laethog homes

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hoel-laethog

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. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hoel-laethog as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When to call us in Hoel-laethog

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for these signs:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start 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.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Hoel-laethog questions

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
