Bath re-enamelling in Cil-y-coed without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Cil-y-coed. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Cil-y-coed get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Cil-y-coed?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Landlord and trade work in Cil-y-coed

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Cil-y-coed, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cil-y-coed

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Cil-y-coed. Prices do not change with location.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

When to call us in Cil-y-coed

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
