Bath re-enamelling for Glenside homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Glenside

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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 whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Glenside?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Common reasons people in Glenside contact us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath

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. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What affects the price in Glenside

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Glenside. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

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 the same day in most cases.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Advice

Common questions in Glenside

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Caerphilly.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Glenside

If you manage property in Glenside, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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 what we repair.
