Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Castle-upon-Alun without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Castle-upon-Alun

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle-upon-Alun

For anyone letting property in or around Castle-upon-Alun, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Castle-upon-Alun

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Castle-upon-Alun

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you come to Castle-upon-Alun?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Castle-upon-Alun and the rest of Bridgend. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
