FAQs for Cwmtillery

Do you come to Cwmtillery?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cwmtillery and the rest of Blaenau Gwent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you accredited?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cwmtillery as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
