The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site

- Whether a trained technician does the job

What else we do in Brynhyfryd
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
Brynhyfryd questions
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Brynhyfryd for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
