Trusted bath re-enamelling in Incline Top

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath re-enamelling in Incline Top, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Incline Top and across Merthyr Tydfil.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Incline Top get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Incline Top?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Common reasons people in Incline Top contact us are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Incline Top questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are there extra charges for Incline Top?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
