Bath Re-enamelling in Crughywel
Our technicians come to Crughywel for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
About our bath re-enamelling in Crughywel
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Crughywel questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What we’re called out for in Crughywel
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
