How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Aber-pwll, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Aber-pwll

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Aber-pwll

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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 fails, we can still put it right.
