Bath re-enamelling in Llanedeyrn, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Llanedeyrn: your questions answered

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long does re-enamelling take?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repairing versus replacing in Llanedeyrn

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Llanedeyrn?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Llanedeyrn and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
