Bath re-enamelling for Caerau homes

FAQs for Caerau

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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.

Do I need to be at home?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

About our bath re-enamelling in Caerau

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, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caerau use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in Caerau

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

Repair or replace in Caerau?

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Caerau

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
