About our bath re-enamelling in Llandough

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

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 the part we put right.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Llandough clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Llandough. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF64 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
