Bath re-enamelling in Blaencaerau without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What else we do in Blaencaerau
Questions from Blaencaerau
Do you come to Blaencaerau?
We do. We send a technician to Blaencaerau for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Blaencaerau
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Blaencaerau
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
