Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Llanllyr. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Llanllyr questions

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

When to call us in Llanllyr

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that won’t shift

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Llanllyr, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Llanllyr

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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