How we handle bath re-enamelling in Llangybi

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

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

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Llangybi

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Common reasons people in Llangybi contact us are:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

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’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
