Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ynyswen

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Ynyswen, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Common questions in Ynyswen

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Rhondda Cynon Taff?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
