Bath re-enamelling near Llanfechain

About our bath re-enamelling in Llanfechain

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Llanfechain and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Llanfechain questions

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Powys. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Llanfechain?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Llanfechain

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Powys and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
