How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coedycaerau

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common questions in Coedycaerau

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the entire of Newport?

Everywhere in the UK, Coedycaerau included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath

If you are in Coedycaerau and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Coedycaerau

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
