Bath re-enamelling in Bridgend, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Questions from Bridgend
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you come to Bridgend?
We do. We send a technician to Bridgend for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bridgend?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are there extra charges for Bridgend?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
