Bath re-enamelling at your home in Aberdare
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
When to call us in Aberdare
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aberdare
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
