Bath re-enamelling in Cwmcarn without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Cwmcarn?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
