About our bath re-enamelling in Mount Pleasant

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we work on in Mount Pleasant

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Mount Pleasant: your questions answered

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Merthyr Tydfil. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Mount Pleasant. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Mount Pleasant. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mount Pleasant

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mount Pleasant use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
