We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairing versus replacing in Penybanc

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penybanc

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we’re called out for in Penybanc

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Questions from Penybanc

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
