Bath re-enamelling for Trallwn homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Trallwn

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Trallwn

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trallwn

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trallwn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Trallwn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace in Trallwn?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Trallwn questions

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How soon can you come?

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