Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Caerphilly
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Caerphilly. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we are called out for in Caerphilly
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
Landlords, agents and businesses in Caerphilly
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Caerphilly as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Caerphilly: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
