About our bath re-enamelling in Llanellen

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Llanellen

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Llanellen. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Llanellen

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When to call us in Llanellen

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
