Trusted bath re-enamelling in Penallt

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penallt

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Penallt as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Penallt

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Look out for these signs:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Penallt. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Penallt

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Questions from Penallt

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.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
