Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Bath re-enamelling in Ffos-y-ffîn, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Ffos-y-ffîn
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Ffos-y-ffîn
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
