Bath Re-enamelling for Cymau homes
Damaged bath in Cymau? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cymau
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Cymau
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
