Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tonteg

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Tonteg. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tonteg

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
