Bath re-enamelling for Pont-Tyweli homes

Bath re-enamelling in Pont-Tyweli, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What affects the price in Pont-Tyweli

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pont-Tyweli?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
