Bath re-enamelling near Y Trallwng

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

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.

Advice

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Y Trallwng

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Y Trallwng, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Y Trallwng?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
