Bath re-enamelling near Llandyssil

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Llandyssil

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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Llandyssil: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. 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 following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Llandyssil

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
