Bath re-enamelling for Pontymoile homes

What we can’t put right

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

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pontymoile

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

When to call us in Pontymoile

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our full price list or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
