Bath re-enamelling in Rhydyfelin

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Rhydyfelin

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about thin, worn enamel in places and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Rhydyfelin

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

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.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF37 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Rhydyfelin

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Rhondda Cynon Taff.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What areas do you cover?

All of Rhondda Cynon Taff, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Rhydyfelin

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
