Risca East questions
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 it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Bath re-enamelling in Risca East, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can generally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in Risca East
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- What preparation is included
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Risca East
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Risca East. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
