Bath re-enamelling in Scleddau

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Scleddau

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Scleddau

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. 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.

Common questions in Scleddau

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

All of Pembrokeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you come to Scleddau?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Scleddau for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Scleddau, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scleddau. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Scleddau and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we’re called out for in Scleddau

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.

  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

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
