Bath re-enamelling near Pensarn

About our bath re-enamelling in Pensarn

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pensarn use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Pensarn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Pensarn

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common problems we fix in Pensarn

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Pensarn: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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.

Do you cover Pensarn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pensarn and the rest of Conwy. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

What affects the price in Pensarn

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
