How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cilgwyn
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Cilgwyn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cilgwyn use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

When to call us in Cilgwyn
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Common questions in Cilgwyn
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are 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 fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cilgwyn, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
