Bath re-enamelling near Pen-y-ffordd

About our bath re-enamelling in Pen-y-ffordd

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. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Pen-y-ffordd

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Pen-y-ffordd, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

FAQs for Pen-y-ffordd

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

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 is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pen-y-ffordd. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CH8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
