Need bath re-enamelling in Roath Park?

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Roath Park

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in Roath Park

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Roath Park. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Roath Park

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What happens on the day

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 the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
