About our bath re-enamelling in Trevethin

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Trevethin

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

FAQs for Trevethin

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NP4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
