About our bath re-enamelling in Bulwark

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bulwark as everywhere else we work.

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that will not shift

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

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 what we repair.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Bulwark: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is there a smell?

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

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover the entire of Monmouthshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Bulwark included. Travel is included in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it 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. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bulwark

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bulwark as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
