Bath re-enamelling at your home in Llanedeyrn Village

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Llanedeyrn Village

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Questions from Llanedeyrn Village

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Repairing versus replacing in Llanedeyrn Village

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

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