Bath re-enamelling near Tŷ-nant

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

About our bath re-enamelling in Tŷ-nant

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. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Tŷ-nant

Do I have to be there?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How soon can you come?

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

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tŷ-nant, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What we are called out for in Tŷ-nant

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Tŷ-nant

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tŷ-nant. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
