Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Llwyncelyn

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
