Bath re-enamelling for Llanhiledd homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Llanhiledd

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Llanhiledd. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
