Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rhydyfelin

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Bath re-enamelling in Rhydyfelin, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhydyfelin use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What we are called out for in Rhydyfelin

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
