Bath re-enamelling in Llangyfelach

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Llangyfelach

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace in Llangyfelach?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Common questions in Llangyfelach

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is it messy?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Llangyfelach

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Llangyfelach

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
