Bath re-enamelling in Cwmdare

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Cwmdare without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cwmdare

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Cwmdare

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

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

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Cwmdare: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
