Common questions in Treherbert
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Treherbert
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Places near Treherbert
What else we do in Treherbert
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Treherbert as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Treherbert?
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repairing versus replacing in Treherbert
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
