Bath re-enamelling in St Cadocs

Bath re-enamelling in St Cadocs without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in St Cadocs and across Torfaen.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in St Cadocs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Cadocs. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

St Cadocs questions

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to St Cadocs?

We do. Repair technicians travel to St Cadocs from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around St Cadocs, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in St Cadocs

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book

What we’re called out for in St Cadocs

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
