Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Bath re-enamelling in Hirwaun without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hirwaun use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Hirwaun. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hirwaun?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

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

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hirwaun. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
