Bath re-enamelling in Cwmavon without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we’re called out for in Cwmavon

- An outdated colour you’d like to change

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
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cwmavon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything

Common questions in Cwmavon
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
