How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tre-gynwer

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Repairing versus replacing in Tre-gynwer

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tre-gynwer

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When can you do it?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

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.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
