Bath re-enamelling for Bridgend homes

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Most clients in Bridgend get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bridgend

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

FAQs for Bridgend

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA43 postcode.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bridgend. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Bridgend, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
