Trusted bath re-enamelling in Wales

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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

Bath re-enamelling in Wales, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

What affects the price in Wales

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What we’re called out for in Wales

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Wales

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
