About our bath re-enamelling in Efail Isaf
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Efail Isaf: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When to call us in Efail Isaf
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
