Bath re-enamelling near Llangybi

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Llangybi

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Llangybi as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Questions from Llangybi

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the entire of Monmouthshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Llangybi. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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 the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Llangybi. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llangybi use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
