Bath Re-enamelling in Bochrwyd
Damaged bath in Bochrwyd? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Bochrwyd without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Bochrwyd
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Bochrwyd
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you come to Bochrwyd?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bochrwyd. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
