Bath re-enamelling in Vaynor

Bath re-enamelling in Vaynor, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Merthyr Tydfil.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Vaynor, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How it works

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 the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

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

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Vaynor

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Vaynor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common problems we fix in Vaynor

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Vaynor: your questions answered

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How soon can you come?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
