Bath re-enamelling in Michaelston-y-Fedw without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

What to look for in a quote

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
Michaelston-y-Fedw questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Michaelston-y-Fedw and the rest of Cardiff. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Michaelston-y-Fedw
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
