Bath re-enamelling for Llanfaes homes

Bath re-enamelling in Llanfaes, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Llanfaes

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Llanfaes. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Llanfaes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Llanfaes

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
