How we handle bath re-enamelling in Afon-wen
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
When to call us in Afon-wen
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

FAQs for Afon-wen
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Repair or replace in Afon-wen?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. 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.
