Bath re-enamelling for Silian homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

About our bath re-enamelling in Silian

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Silian

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silian as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Silian customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA48 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Silian. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

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’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Silian

Will the new finish last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you work in Silian?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
