Bath re-enamelling in Nansladron

Bath re-enamelling in Nansladron without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Nansladron: your questions answered

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work in Nansladron?

We do. We send a technician to Nansladron for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Never use suction bath mats

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

What we’re called out for in Nansladron

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Nansladron. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Nansladron, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
