Need bath re-enamelling in Pontyclun?

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Bath re-enamelling in Pontyclun without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pontyclun

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

What affects the price in Pontyclun

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

Questions from Pontyclun

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
