Bath re-enamelling in Cefn Cribwr

Cefn Cribwr questions

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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 next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Cefn Cribwr

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Cefn Cribwr

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
