Bath re-enamelling in Lavister

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lavister

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lavister

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Lavister and the rest of Wrexham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on 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.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lavister

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Lavister

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.

  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
