Common problems we fix in Springvale

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Springvale

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Torfaen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Springvale. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP44 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
