About our bath re-enamelling in Penyard

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Penyard: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

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

Are there extra charges for Penyard?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

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.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Penyard, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Penyard?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
