Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Cornelly, Bridgend
Damaged bath in Cornelly? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
About our bath re-enamelling in Cornelly
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Cornelly
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Bridgend.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Cornelly?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cornelly. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Cornelly, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cornelly
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
