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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cwmbwrla. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Cwmbwrla
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlord and trade work in Cwmbwrla
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
