Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When to call us in Craig-y-penrhyn
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Craig-y-penrhyn
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
