Llwynypia questions

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Llwynypia?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Llwynypia and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

About our bath re-enamelling in Llwynypia

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Llwynypia

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llwynypia as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
