About our bath re-enamelling in Rhewl

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Rhewl. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

If you manage property in Rhewl, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Rhewl

Which areas do you work in?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Shropshire.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you work in Rhewl?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Rhewl and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we’re called out for in Rhewl

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Common reasons people in Rhewl contact us are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
