Bath re-enamelling at your home in Llandaff North

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 normally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Llandaff North, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

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 check it carefully.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
