Landlord and trade work in Birchgrove
If you manage property in Birchgrove, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Birchgrove
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace in Birchgrove?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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 check it carefully.
Questions from Birchgrove
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cardiff.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Birchgrove?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Birchgrove and the rest of Cardiff. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
