Bath re-enamelling in Rhoose

Landlord and trade work in Rhoose

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

About our bath re-enamelling in Rhoose

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Rhoose as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Rhoose. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Rhoose questions

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.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Rhoose?

We do. We send a technician to Rhoose for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of the Vale of Glamorgan. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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