How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Cefn-coed-y-cymmer get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.
