Bath re-enamelling for Rhoswiel homes

Bath re-enamelling in Rhoswiel, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

Questions from Rhoswiel

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

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

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Repairing versus replacing in Rhoswiel

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Rhoswiel clients choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Rhoswiel?

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
