Bath re-enamelling in Ffynnon Taf without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cardiff.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Ffynnon Taf. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Ffynnon Taf
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How to care for the finish
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Ffynnon Taf questions
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
