Bath re-enamelling in Johnston

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Johnston

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlord and trade work in Johnston

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Johnston

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Are there extra charges for Johnston?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Pembrokeshire.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

On the day, 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 are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Johnston?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Johnston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Johnston

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
