What else we do in Rhiwbina
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Rhiwbina: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rhiwbina
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rhiwbina. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
