How we handle bath re-enamelling in Twyn-yr-odyn

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Twyn-yr-odyn as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Twyn-yr-odyn

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

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’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
