How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rhymney

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 a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What we’re called out for in Rhymney

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Rhymney: your questions answered

Do you cover Rhymney?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rhymney

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rhymney. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
