Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Bath re-enamelling in Blaenavon without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Blaenavon
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover Blaenavon?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Blaenavon and the rest of Torfaen. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
