Bath re-enamelling in Nant-y-moel

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Nant-y-moel

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Nant-y-moel get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Nant-y-moel

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Nant-y-moel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you come to Nant-y-moel?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Nant-y-moel and the rest of Bridgend. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What we can’t put right

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
