Bath re-enamelling in Cwm-mawr

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cwm-mawr

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

Respect the curing time we give you
Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Get any chip repaired quickly
Never use suction bath mats

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Let the surface dry out before the visit
Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

What affects the price in Cwm-mawr

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

Whether we combine several jobs
The material
Unusual colours or finishes
How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

A photo taken from further back
One sharp close-up of the damage
The postcode, so we can plan the visit
What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwm-mawr use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
