Need bath re-enamelling in Gilfach Goch?

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Questions from Gilfach Goch

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Gilfach Goch?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the entire of Rhondda Cynon Taff?

We cover the entire UK, including Gilfach Goch and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gilfach Goch?

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Gilfach Goch

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Gilfach Goch

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

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilfach Goch

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Gilfach Goch, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
