Bath re-enamelling in Colwinston without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Colwinston and across the Vale of Glamorgan.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

For landlords and businesses

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

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Colwinston. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Colwinston

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Colwinston

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Are there extra charges for Colwinston?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Are you a vetted contractor?

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
