Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pentre-poeth

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work in Pentre-poeth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pentre-poeth. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Pentre-poeth?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pentre-poeth

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Pentre-poeth

For anyone letting property in or around Pentre-poeth, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our prices page and bath cost comparison.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pentre-poeth

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
