Bath Re-enamelling in Cyfarthfa
Bath re-enamelling across Cyfarthfa and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Cyfarthfa, done in place
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. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Cyfarthfa
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Cyfarthfa get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
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.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cyfarthfa
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- How to care for the finish
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
