Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cegidfa
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cegidfa
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cegidfa as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We leave the room as we found it
