Bath Re-enamelling across Caerphilly

How bath re-enamelling works in Caerphilly

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Bath re-enamelling across Caerphilly: local notes

Across Caerphilly, from Blackwood, Risca and Ystrad Mynach to its smallest villages, we see cast iron, steel and acrylic baths. Older homes frequently have cast iron, newer ones acrylic, and all can be repaired in place.

Caerphilly: Landlords with property near Energlyn & Churchill Park station (in Caerphilly itself) use us between tenancies, so baths are repaired rather than replaced. For older houses around Caerphilly, near landmarks such as Church of St Catherine, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Caerphilly

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Questions from Caerphilly

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you cover the whole of Caerphilly?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
