Bath re-enamelling in Cwrt y Gollen, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths

Common questions in Cwrt y Gollen
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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

What affects the price in Cwrt y Gollen
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repairing versus replacing in Cwrt y Gollen
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
