About our bath re-enamelling in Ebbw Vale
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
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.
When to call us in Ebbw Vale
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
Before booking anyone

- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Ebbw Vale clients choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Ebbw Vale questions
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
