Bath re-enamelling near Romilly

Bath re-enamelling in Romilly without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.

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

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Romilly

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Romilly

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Romilly

Do you cover the whole of the Vale of Glamorgan?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Romilly?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
