Need bath re-enamelling in Ysbyty Ystwyth?

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ysbyty Ystwyth

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ysbyty Ystwyth and across Ceredigion.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

What we work on

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

Are you accredited?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ysbyty Ystwyth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
