When to call us in Trawsfynydd

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected

Trawsfynydd questions

What happens if you find more damage?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Trawsfynydd and the rest of Gwynedd. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trawsfynydd

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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trawsfynydd as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
