Bath re-enamelling for Merthyr Mawr homes

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Merthyr Mawr

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Related advice

Merthyr Mawr questions

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover the whole of Bridgend?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Merthyr Mawr. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

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