Trusted bath re-enamelling in Tremadog

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bath re-enamelling in Tremadog without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tremadog as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Tremadog

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Gwynedd. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Tremadog?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When to call us in Tremadog

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Tremadog

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
