Bath Re-enamelling in Aberthin
Problem with your bath in Aberthin? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aberthin
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Aberthin and across the Vale of Glamorgan.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Aberthin. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace in Aberthin?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Common problems we fix in Aberthin
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Aberthin questions
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
