Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Croesyceiliog, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torfaen.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Croesyceiliog get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Croesyceiliog, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Croesyceiliog
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- 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.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
