Bath re-enamelling near Penystrywad

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penystrywad

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penystrywad

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Penystrywad

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we can’t put right

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

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Penystrywad?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Questions from Penystrywad

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Penystrywad get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
