Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in St Elvis without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

St Elvis questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you cover the whole of Pembrokeshire?

Across the UK, and that includes St Elvis. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Elvis

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Elvis. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
