What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ynyshir

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coloured bath you want in white, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • 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

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Ynyshir

Do you cover the whole of Rhondda Cynon Taff?

All of Rhondda Cynon Taff, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

What we are called out for in Ynyshir

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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 pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rhondda Cynon Taff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
