Bath re-enamelling at your home in Neath Abbey

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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 pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Neath Abbey

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Neath Abbey

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover the entire of Neath Port Talbot?

The entire UK, including all of Neath Port Talbot. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
