Bath re-enamelling in Cilgerran, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Cilgerran
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover the whole of Ceredigion?
Everywhere in the UK, Cilgerran included. Travel is included in the price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
