Bath Re-enamelling for Trehafod homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Bath re-enamelling in Trehafod without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Trehafod and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Trehafod
If you manage property in Trehafod, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Trehafod: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the whole of Rhondda Cynon Taff?
We cover the whole UK, including Trehafod and the rest of Rhondda Cynon Taff. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CF37 postcode.
Common problems we fix in Trehafod
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.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

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 resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
