Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bath re-enamelling in Cowbridge, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Cowbridge
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
