Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Maes-coed

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When to call us in Lower Maes-coed

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Maes-coed. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Maes-coed

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Lower Maes-coed: your questions answered

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you cover the entire of Herefordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Maes-coed

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
