How we handle bath re-enamelling in Plasmarl

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When to call us in Plasmarl

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Plasmarl and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Plasmarl

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Plasmarl and the rest of Swansea. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plasmarl

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plasmarl use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
