About our bath re-enamelling in Ystradowen
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Ystradowen
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Ystradowen and the rest of the Vale of Glamorgan. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?

Do you come to Ystradowen?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ystradowen. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
