DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our bath re-enamelling in Dowlais Top
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Dowlais Top and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Dowlais Top
What affects the price in Dowlais Top
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Advice
Dowlais Top questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
