How we handle bath re-enamelling in Penrhiwceiber

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Penrhiwceiber

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Questions from Penrhiwceiber

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Penrhiwceiber

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Penrhiwceiber. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
