Bath Re-enamelling across Merthyr Tydfil

How bath re-enamelling works in Merthyr Tydfil

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Repairing versus replacing

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Merthyr Tydfil

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
