Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tafarnaubach

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Tafarnaubach

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common problems we fix in Tafarnaubach

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Tafarnaubach

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Tafarnaubach. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when 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. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.

Repairing versus replacing in Tafarnaubach

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
