Bath re-enamelling for Usk homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Usk

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Usk

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Usk

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Usk

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Usk questions

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
