How we handle bath re-enamelling in Llanllwch

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. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

When to call us in Llanllwch

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Llanllwch

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA31 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
