Bath re-enamelling near Trelydan

Bath re-enamelling in Trelydan, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

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

Questions from Trelydan

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you come to Trelydan?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Trelydan for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

What we are called out for in Trelydan

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trelydan use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Trelydan, and we will reply with a fixed price.
