Bath re-enamelling near Pont-y-wal

Bath re-enamelling in Pont-y-wal, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pont-y-wal

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pont-y-wal, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Pont-y-wal questions

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you come to Pont-y-wal?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pont-y-wal for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Pont-y-wal?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
