These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Bath re-enamelling in Aberkenfig, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What affects the price in Aberkenfig
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
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 a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
