How we handle bath re-enamelling in Llandovery

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llandovery

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What affects the price in Llandovery

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Llandovery, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Llandovery

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Common reasons people in Llandovery contact us include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
