Common questions in Llanfair

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Are there extra charges for Llanfair?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LL46 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Common problems we fix in Llanfair

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Look out for these signs:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
