DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Bath re-enamelling in Cefn Mawr without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Cefn Mawr: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you come to Cefn Mawr?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cefn Mawr from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

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

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cefn Mawr

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Cefn Mawr

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

Different materials, different repairs

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’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
