Bath re-enamelling near Llandygai

Bath re-enamelling in Llandygai without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Llandygai

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Llandygai

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a 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. 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 until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
