- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Coed-y-paen. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Coed-y-paen
- Pressed steel baths

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
