How we handle bath re-enamelling in Llanfedw

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Llanfedw

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

If you manage property in Llanfedw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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