Bath re-enamelling in Clwydyfagwyr without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Clwydyfagwyr and across Merthyr Tydfil.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Clwydyfagwyr

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Merthyr Tydfil?

Everywhere in the UK, Clwydyfagwyr included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When to call us in Clwydyfagwyr

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
