Bath re-enamelling for Pitcot homes

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Bath re-enamelling in Pitcot, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Materials we work on in Pitcot

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Pitcot

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Pitcot and the rest of Bridgend. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Pitcot?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF32 postcode.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repair or replace in Pitcot?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
