Bath re-enamelling in Sandfields without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Sandfields questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Sandfields?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you cover the entire of Neath Port Talbot?

We cover the entire UK, including Sandfields and the rest of Neath Port Talbot. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Sandfields

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sandfields?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used 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. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Sandfields

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.
