About our bath re-enamelling in Llanybri

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Llanybri

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Llanybri

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a smell?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot 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.
