How we handle bath re-enamelling in Palmerstown

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Vale of Glamorgan.

When to call us in Palmerstown

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Palmerstown

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

What affects the price in Palmerstown

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Palmerstown. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

FAQs for Palmerstown

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
