Bath re-enamelling in Maelor South without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

When to call us in Maelor South

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

What affects the price in Maelor South

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Maelor South. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

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

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

FAQs for Maelor South

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Are there extra charges for Maelor South?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you work in Maelor South?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Maelor South for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
