Bath re-enamelling in Cantref, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 booking.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cantref, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

Cantref questions
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Are there extra charges for Cantref?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cantref. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Cantref
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
