We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

Landlord and trade work in Cwm-cou

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwm-cou use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cwm-cou

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Stains that won’t shift

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
