Bath re-enamelling near Bridgend

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

About our bath re-enamelling in Bridgend

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Bridgend

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

What we are called out for in Bridgend

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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 costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Repairs by material

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 check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 pictures.
