Bath re-enamelling near Troed-y-rhiw Garth

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling in Troed-y-rhiw Garth, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Troed-y-rhiw Garth

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Troed-y-rhiw Garth. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Troed-y-rhiw Garth, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Troed-y-rhiw Garth?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Troed-y-rhiw Garth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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