About our bath re-enamelling in Cae-clyd
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gwynedd and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cae-clyd questions
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Cae-clyd. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Cae-clyd. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repairing versus replacing in Cae-clyd
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cae-clyd
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
