Bath re-enamelling in Caegarw, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow the best part of a day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

When to call us in Caegarw
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Wear marks under the taps

- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day

What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Caegarw: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
