Bath re-enamelling near Marchwiel

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Marchwiel

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Marchwiel and across Wrexham.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wrexham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marchwiel use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

FAQs for Marchwiel

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Marchwiel?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Marchwiel

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Marchwiel. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
