How we handle bath re-enamelling in Llansantffraid

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Common questions in Llansantffraid

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover Llansantffraid?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Llansantffraid for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Llansantffraid. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

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

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SY22 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
