How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pembrey

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Common questions in Pembrey

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you come to Pembrey?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pembrey and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Pembrey

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Pembrey. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pembrey, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Pembrey

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Common reasons people in Pembrey contact us are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
