  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Basins & shower trays

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Llanbella

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 acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Llanbella and across Herefordshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Llanbella

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Llanbella questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Are there extra charges for Llanbella?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What affects the price in Llanbella

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Llanbella. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanbella

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanbella use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
