Bath re-enamelling in Cyncoed without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cyncoed and across Cardiff.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Cyncoed
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you come to Cyncoed?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cyncoed from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
