Bath re-enamelling in and around Bridgend: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bridgend
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Bridgend
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Common questions in Bridgend
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you come to Bridgend?
We do. We send a technician to Bridgend for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Other services in Bridgend
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
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.
