How we handle bath re-enamelling in Talybont

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Talybont as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

When to call us in Talybont

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Talybont

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
