Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cwmgwrach

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cwmgwrach

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Cwmgwrach?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cwmgwrach. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Cwmgwrach

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Common reasons people in Cwmgwrach contact us are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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 until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
