Bath re-enamelling for Tre-Forgan homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tre-Forgan

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Tre-Forgan and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Tre-Forgan

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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 somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairs by material

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Tre-Forgan questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA10 postcode.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
