Trusted bath re-enamelling in Llandoche

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Llandoche

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Llandoche

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Llandoche, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Llandoche

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we are called out for in Llandoche

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish

Our hiring checklist

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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

Common questions in Llandoche

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
