Questions from Morthen

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Morthen?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Bath re-enamelling in Morthen without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Morthen. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Morthen

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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 usually cheaper.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Morthen?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Morthen

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Morthen. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Morthen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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