The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Achddu
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Achddu
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Achddu?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Achddu
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
