What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Bath re-enamelling in Trefonen without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

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 pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Trefonen

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Trefonen

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
