Trusted bath re-enamelling in Penthryn

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Penthryn

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place.

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

Questions from Penthryn

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you come to Penthryn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Penthryn and the rest of Powys. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Penthryn

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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 we’re called out for in Penthryn

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
