Bath re-enamelling in Abercwmboi

Common problems we fix in Abercwmboi

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

About our bath re-enamelling in Abercwmboi

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Abercwmboi and across Rhondda Cynon Taff.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Abercwmboi: your questions answered

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Abercwmboi?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

For landlords and businesses

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

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.
