Book bath re-enamelling in Cadoxton

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our bath re-enamelling in Cadoxton

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Cadoxton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Cadoxton questions

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When to call us in Cadoxton

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Vale of Glamorgan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
