Bath re-enamelling in Fron, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Fron. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Fron
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Fron is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Fron?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Fron
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fron. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
