DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Repair or replace in Tavernspite?

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’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

Common questions in Tavernspite

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Tavernspite?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you come to Tavernspite?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Tavernspite and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Tavernspite

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA34 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
