Bath Re-enamelling for Bonvilston homes
Problem with your bath in Bonvilston? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
About our bath re-enamelling in Bonvilston
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Bonvilston
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Bonvilston: your questions answered
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you work in Bonvilston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bonvilston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Bonvilston
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bonvilston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cardiff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
