Bath re-enamelling near Rhos-fawr

Bath re-enamelling in Rhos-fawr without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Common questions in Rhos-fawr

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What happens next?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When to call us in Rhos-fawr

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Common reasons people in Rhos-fawr contact us are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Rhos-fawr, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Rhos-fawr?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
