Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Bridgend, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bridgend as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Bridgend, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bridgend. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bridgend
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Bridgend and the rest of West Lothian. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
There is 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 quote.
