Bath re-enamelling at your home in Llithfaen

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlord and trade work in Llithfaen

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Llithfaen

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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