Bath re-enamelling at your home in Fochriw
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Fochriw questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Are there extra charges for Fochriw?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CF81 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
