Bath re-enamelling in Penrhyn-coch without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Penrhyn-coch and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How to compare quotes

Penrhyn-coch: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Penrhyn-coch and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
