Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling in Cwm-y-glo without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Cwm-y-glo. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cwm-y-glo
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cwm-y-glo?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
