Bath re-enamelling in Clydach without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Repairing versus replacing in Clydach
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Clydach
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Clydach?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
