Bath re-enamelling near Llwyneliddon

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath re-enamelling in Llwyneliddon without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Llwyneliddon and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in Llwyneliddon

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Llwyneliddon

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Llwyneliddon: your questions answered

Do you work in Llwyneliddon?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Llwyneliddon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Llwyneliddon. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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