Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cefn Fforest
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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.
Common problems we fix in Cefn Fforest
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
