Questions from Pen-y-groes

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are there extra charges for Pen-y-groes?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Pen-y-groes?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

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

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pen-y-groes

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Pen-y-groes and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

What we work on

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pen-y-groes

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

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
