Bath re-enamelling in Kenfig Hill without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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

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 happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Kenfig Hill?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kenfig Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we’re called out for in Kenfig Hill

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kenfig Hill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
