Bath re-enamelling in Llansaint without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right.

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

Llansaint: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Llansaint

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Llansaint, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Llansaint?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
