Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ynysmaerdy

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and worn patches where water runs and sits, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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 until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Ynysmaerdy

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
