Need bath re-enamelling in Llwyn-y-Pia?

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Bath re-enamelling in Llwyn-y-Pia, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we’re called out for in Llwyn-y-Pia

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the entire UK

Take a look at our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Llwyn-y-Pia questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
