Bath re-enamelling in New Radnor

What we’re called out for in New Radnor

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Bath re-enamelling in New Radnor without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

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

New Radnor questions

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover New Radnor?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to New Radnor for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Landlord and trade work in New Radnor

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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 a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
