Common questions in Abercrave
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are there extra charges for Abercrave?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Abercrave
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Abercrave as everywhere else we work.

- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairing versus replacing in Abercrave
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
